Erm...isn't good resource management the corner stone of many games including this one.

No. It's easy to have a surplus of equipment in this game. It's easy to use little to no equipment in a game (this is including medi-gels, etc).

Lol, another skillz thread. N7 doesn't prove anything. I don't like promoting much, and probably will rarely do it from now on. CPs just mean you finished a lot of challenges. In worse case scenarios, HAX & CHEETOS!

LOL i remember making a thread like this months ago. I guess BSN history really does repeat itself

1/10, would not bang if the existance of Drell in ME 4 depended on it.

OKAY TIME TO SETTLE THIS

N7 = time played
NOW MOST OF THE TIME with more time played one becomes more proficient at the game - ONLY however if one WANTS TO GET BETTER and is WILLING TO LEARN HOW

There are countless players that have "high" (or straight up ridiculous) N7 ratings... and honestly suck balls. Why? Lack of learning. I've had one get mad at me for charging the basement spawn on Glacier because, according to him, we were "supposed to attack on the landing zone and hold the lab". His N7 was seventeen thousand and some. Classic example of picking up on one thing, then sticking to those guns forever unwilling to try things different. That, in my very strong opinion, is one of the worst kinds of players out there.

ANYBODY of ANY N7 or with ANY AMOUNT OF TIME PLAYED can have this mentality or other similarly poor ones - AND THERE IS NO WAY to identify such quirks beforehand

The only two things that N7 and CP are even mildly indicative for is time played and, correspondingly, in-game experience. And as the many examples many of us have go to show, neither of those can be given a quantifiable value identifying whether or not someone is a good player.

So how about we put a kibosh to this thread and this stupid f*cking argument that's been made for the umpteenth time.

Just like mirroring the game? Were you ignored by the many, just like when shepard warned everyone the reapers were coming.

Improving your N7 rating effectively without cheating or leeching does take skill.

Moby, I'm really attracted to you right now.

Still, N7 doesn't equal skill. At all.

 

I've seen players with ridiculous N7 ratings that played horribly and seemed to not know basic gameplay mechanics.

I've also seen players with very low N7 ratings that play incredibly well. 

 

So no. N7 does not equal skill.

 

^ This

 

I prefer a low level player who really goes for it and does all the objectives etc. to a high level player who keeps going rambo and gets killed every wave.

everyone is entitled to their own opinion, even if it is wrong.

[LuckyStarr]

That, in my very strong opinion, is one of the worst kinds of players people out there.

Fixed that for ya.

This thread has convinced me to start promoting, so I can be the best I can be.

I don't have enough N7 to eat those. 

 

Can you cut them into smaller pieces for me? I don't wanna choke...

No. You take it all.

OP is a good guy and a good player too though.

 

Writing N7=Skill is like stating time played=Skill. Which is only true up to a point and has a few caveats - Mr High N7 could be a glitcher, hacker, carried by better friends, a casual Silver/Bronze player who just likes promoting or just a decent player who's spent the last two years slowly accumulating a high N7.

 

In general though I'd certainly be more inclined to think an N7-10000 player is at least more knowledgeable and competent than an N7-53 player.

 

One of the few coherent posts in this thread. 

 

To overthrow high N7 => good skill, you need to establish high N7 => bad skill. Not that low n7 => good skill. The number of posts in this thread proving this is minimal.

You are confusing causation and correlation. HIGH N7/CP IS correlated with better skill, which doesn't make it that high cp/n7 => better skills, nor does it exclude very good players with N7 in the 100s.

 

Again for those of you who think n7 is not a good indicator of pugs (read, pug) skill I'd refer you to Simba's thread. N7 is a very good predictor of how a player gonna perform,  most of the time.

[ClydeInTheShell]

CP means you've used a weapon or played a character a certain amount of times. N7 means you've promoted or gained levels. 

 

Neither of those take skill. 

 

That's as much logic and intelligence as I can muster today. Bring back the pancake pictures and demands that I swallow it whole.

That has rarely been my experience, was the point I (and others) tried to make. I'm not going to insult someone who thinks otherwise. That said, I just don't agree with that point. I've seen enough PUG lobbies with high N7 players to know they do well about as often as they don't.

Nice and thick. Just for you.
